To go directly to photos of a specific ship, simply enter her name in the search window (little white space) at the upper left. Ditto for a type of warship, country, year, etc..., e.g. battlecruiser. You can click on an individual photograph to view it alone against a dark background. When you want to go back to the page, just click outside the picture. Please note that I resize, denoise/despeckle/descratch and generally crop the photos to show mostly the ship itself in the space available.

Predreadnought battleship HMS Lord Nelson in 1908.

The last predreadnought commissioned by the Royal Navy. She had a very heavy secondary armament ten 9.2" guns, which made it difficult to distinguish the splashes made by these from those of her main (12") armament when trying to straddle a target.
